Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand had a spare-no-expense moment last night as she chartered a plane to make sure she arrived at the Nassau County Democratic Dinner from Washington D.C.

Nassau County and state Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs — a Gillibrand ally who stood by her when primary threats cropped up — revealed her special flight to the crowd of about 1,200 people in his speech.

“I want to thank Kirsten Gillibrand for coming tonight,” Jacobs said, according to a spy who provided the quotes. “She really wanted to be here and I want to especially thank her for chartering a flight to be here because none of the commercial flights would have gotten her here in time.”

Sources confirmed Gillibrand did indeed rent a charter flight — a cost that will be picked up by her campaign. That’s quite an expensive ride for a county dinner.
